We compared two surgical techniques for the treatment of scaphoid non-union, namely, using distal radius vascularised bone graft and iliac crest non-vascularised bone graft. Eighty patients with symptomatic scaphoid non-union underwent surgical treatment, including 35 patients treated with distal radius vascularised bone graft and 45 treated by iliac crest non-vascularised bone graft. Patients were assessed objectively by examination of wrist range of motion, grip strength and radiographic findings in the postoperative period after a mean time of 2.8 (1.4) (range 1–5.2) years. Similar functional results were obtained with the two techniques. All cases of non-union in the non-vascularised group obtained consolidation in a mean time of 8.89 (2.26) months and in the vascularised group in a mean time of 7.97 (3.06) months. Three cases of consolidation failure occurred in the vascularised group and were related to technical difficulties.

AbstractSubacromial decompression is one of the most frequently performed procedures in the setting of arthroscopic shoulder surgery and typically includes acromioplasty. However, the indication for acromioplasty remains a subject of debate. Possible complications involve deltoid muscle insufficiency due to an excessive removal of the anterior acromion. This case report is intended to draw attention to this particular complication and its management.
